This is one of like less than half a dozen Republican state senators. It’s almost certainly going absolutely nowhere. That said, I often get pissed at our fairly conservative democratic state legislators, but god damn do I forget how fucking stupid the other side of the isle is in our state, when I’m not forgetting about them in general as the utterly irrelevant voice they are.
No, the best choice would have been to empower the one party that actually has, albeit often ignored but nevertheless significant, pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist members as part of its membership. And then to focus on improving that party and/or breaking up the duopoly along the natural and clear lines of opportunity present in the sole big tent party that’s left in US politics.
At the end of the day, there are no significant pro-Palestinian voices in the Republican party. There are in the Democratic party And that indisputable fact alone should inform a strategic vote.
That said, people are stupid and I don’t really blame non- and 3rd party voters for Democrats losing and the resulting shit show-- blame and culpability falls squarely on the many people who actually specifically voted for this. But it would be nice if those people would try to learn from and admit their incredibly disastrous error in judgement.
I really do think that a war of bald faced imperial oligarchic aggression would trigger the collapse of the union.
I really think this is wrong. These moves arguably harm large business even more than small ones because the complex supply chains that go into most large corporations’ goods are getting totally fucked by these tarrifs and the supplier agreements locking them probably more often than not do not give them a clear out for situations where the dumbest motherfuckers in the country elected their chief dumb motherfucker into the highest seat.
Regardless, the ones most hurt by this are consumers, and especially those without the means and/or ability accommodate this fuckery.
Ah, you seem to be engaging in bad faith. Oh, well, hopefully those reading at least now between understanding what these models are doing and can engage in more informed and coherent discussion on the subject. Good luck or whatever to you!
Regardless of training data, it isn’t matching to anything it’s found and squigglying shit up or whatever was implied. Diffusion models are trained to iteratively convert noise into an image based on text and the current iteration’s features. This is why they take multiple runs and also they do that thing where the image generation sort of transforms over multiple steps from a decreasingly undifferentiated soup of shape and color. My point was that they aren’t doing some search across the web, either externally or via internal storage of scraped training data, to “match” your prompt to something. They are iterating from a start of static noise through multiple passes to a “finished” image, where each pass’s transformation of the image components is a complex and dynamic probabilistic function built from, but not directly mapping to in any way we’d consider it, the training data.
It’s been defined a few ways. Based on registration and also self reporting.
That isn’t at all how something like a diffusion based model works actually.
Yup. Not only is there no IP right associated with generated content, even if there was, utilizing that content for training purposes doesn’t really in and of itself reflect an act of copying (which is of course their position as well), so that clause is some funny shit.
Basically it means a certain of Mediterranean-adjacent appearance. There is definitely a phenotype, but, like most of these sorts of things, it’s a very broadly variable one. This is why I find it so frustrating when people racialize the the Israel-Palestine conflict. People with roots around the Mediterranean all look very similar.
The ADL is, and always has been, a metastasized cancer in the heart of Jewish culture. Find your local yiddishist group and tell the ADL to fucking take a nap on the beach at low tide.
Not everything is “pretend” but what you have identified is that all societal rules are participatory algorithms, and that includes money and laws. Money, or really wealth and value, are effectively resource allocation and prioritization algorithms. It’s why the very idea of individuals, or even organizational entities largely decouple from societal benefit, having comparable allocative power to actual societal management structures is batshit absurd.
That’s because in practical reality, there are no independent voters. The vastly overwhelming majority of independents actually vote consistently along party lines.
The ADL has never not been a horrifically shitty organization and has probably done more damage to Jewish culture than any other group in the last 50 years. They’re effectively a bunch of quisling fucks.
Blame them both for different but still similarly terrible things. Fucking morons don’t escape culpability because they refuse to acknowledge how fucking dumb they are.
Nearly all personal insurance should fundamentally be a government function. Insurance is principally there to assist you when shit goes south. This is also effectively one of the foundational reasons humans collect into societies. But we’ve let runaway American capitalism and abstracting money to the point where it is treated like a resource in an of itself rather than the allocation algorithm it is completely pervert our understanding of how government and private enterprise respectively should interact with society.
They’re basically the stupidest part of our population. I don’t think they’ll ever understand the connection between their idiotic voting behavior and the consequences of those choices. Remember–they’re fucking morons.
And I think staying home was stupid. But at the end of the day, i actually don’t care much about Harris losing…Trump winning is what I’m upset with. And sure, there are strategic and comms failings by the Harris campaign that made room for they eventuality, but fundamentally the metastasized cancer is personified by the large number of people who specifically elected this piece of shit. I refuse to absolve voters of culpability for their fucking votes and that’s where the ultimate responsibility lies.
Are you actively having a stroke? You were pretty politely informed and corrected and nowhere in the above responses were you attacked in anything but the most mild and tame interpretation of the word.
